ABSTRACT

A SLIDE STICK FOR RETURNING A CUSTOMER&#39;&#39;S PROCESSED AND SLIDE MOUNTED TRANSPARENCIES SO THAT A PLURALITY OF THEM CAN BE SIMULTANEOUSLY VIEWED BY TRANSMITTED LIGHT WITHOUT HAVING TO HANDLE THE SLIDES INDIVIDUALLY. THE SLIDE STICK PREFERABLY COMPRISES TWO ELONGATED SUBSTANTIALLY U-SHAPED CHANNEL SECTIONS CONNECTED IN BACK-TO-BACK RELATION BY A WEB. A PLURALITY OF SLIDES ARE INSERTED EDGEWISE INTO EACH CHANNEL SECTION IN SIDE-BY-SIDE RELATION AND ARE FRICTIONALLY HELD IN PLACE BY RESILIENT FINGERS EXTRUDING INWARDLY FROM EACH CHANNEL WALL AND REARWARDLY OF THE CHANNELS. THE STICKS ARE PREFERABLY OF SUCH LENGTH THAT TWO STICKS WILL ACCOMMODATE THE NUMBER OF SLIDES OBTAINED FROM A SINGLE ROLL OF FILM, I.E. 12 OR 20. THE STICK IS PREFERABLY PLASTIC AND FORMED BY A DUAL DUROMETER EXTRUSION TECHNIQUE, THE CHANNEL SECTIONS AND THE WEB CONNECTING THEM BEING FORMED OF A PLASTIC HAVING A DUROMETER HARDNESS WHICH RENDERS THESE PARTS FAIRLY RIGID AND THE FINGERS FORMED FROM A PLASTIC HAVING A DUROMETER HARDNESS WHICH MAKES THEM RESILIENT.

Int. Cl. G09f 1/10 US. Cl. 40158 1 Sheet Drawing. 12 Pages Specification A slide stick for returning a customers processed and slide mounted transparencies so that a plurality of them can be simultaneously viewed by transmitted light without having to handle the slides individually. The slide stick preferably comprises two elongated substantially U-shaped channel sections connected in back-to-back relation by a web. A plurality of slides are inserted edgewise into each channel section in side-by-side relation and are frictionally held in place by resilient fingers extruding inwardly from each channel wall and rearwardly of the channels. The sticks are preferably of such length that two sticks will accommodate the number of slides obtained from a single roll of film, i.e. 12 or 20. The stick is preferably plastic and formed by a dual durometer extrusion technique, the channel sections and the web connecting them being formed of a plastic having a durometer hardness which renders these parts fairly rigid and the fingers formed from a plastic having a durometer hardness which makes them resilient.
